* TheScrappy: Even with the justification that ''Word of Honor'' is an ''extremely'' loose adaptation of ''Literature/TianYaKe'' in terms of both plot and characterization, you'll find no one who has any fondness for Prince Jin whatsoever, with novel fans decrying him as a piss-poor imitation (or an outright bastardization) of Helian Yi.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: A reoccurring theme in adaptions, this time people doubted Gong Jun's ability to act the complex character Wen Kexing due to multiple factors, including that he is still considered a new actor, and his acting in a Chinese BL ''Advance Bravely'' wasn't the best.
